About the Job
Masha (20s–30s), Persian-American. Raised in the U.S., Masha has grown up balancing the cultural weight of her mother’s expectations with her own desire for independence. She deeply loves and empathizes with her mother, Layla, but she is equally determined to have her relationship with her boyfriend, Hamed, accepted. Masha carries a quiet strength, resilient under pressure yet vulnerable when the emotional weight becomes too heavy. She must navigate the push and pull between loyalty to her roots and her need to claim her own life. Actress must be fluent in Farsi (will only be required to read in Farsi). /Ability to portray authentic emotional breakdowns and subtle inner conflict./A nuanced balance of empathy, determination, and vulnerability is essential.
